I'll take that over the relatively nice weather we had last year for the opener - see where that got us???? Gimme a snowstorm any day; one of the best moves I've ever made has been to set a personal policy to never ever go to the home opener again without booking a room downtown. When Byrdie was throwing a no-no in a blizzard, I felt no guilt at all in saying to my wife "Go ahead and go back to the room, I'm staying." Then again, where exactly did that get me???Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02103162789076824051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-66852575929615289962009-04-06T20:10:00.000-04:002009-04-06T20:10:00.000-04:00Wrong.

At the very least he'll be in the top 3, the only possible sabotage being an Indians club that fails to make the postseason. But with it being opening day, for the time being we're undefeated.<BR/><BR/>Also, if Oakland landed Halladay my A's fan brother (don't ask--that apple feel inexplicably wide of the family MLB tree) would simply soil his knickers.
